Michael Carrick : “We didn’t start the game particularly well. We conceded, which came after Leny Yoro got a forearm smash in the back of his head.
“They didn’t decide to overturn that, which was a big moment in the game. We didn’t quite have the rhythm, we didn’t click. We had some moments but it wasn’t there for large parts of the half.
“I thought the boys stayed positive and fought for everything in the second half, after a shocking decision to send Lisandro off.
“That’s two games in a row we’ve had those decisions go against us, but that one was one of the worst I’ve seen.”
“There’s a difference between touching somebody the way he has and actually really aggressively tugging on it, which we’ve seen at certain points where there’s a real emphasis to it. It’s really concerning.
“To start with, he gets an arm in the face. So he’s kind of off balance. He almost just goes to touch him and grab his shirt and he ends up catching his ear and touches the back of his ear and a bobble comes out and you get a red card for it.
“It’s not aggressive. There’s no tug. There’s no sudden movement. He kind of touches it and glances through it. You’ve just got to be careful where the game is going to go if we are giving red cards for that. It’s a shocking decision. Absolutely shocking.”
